Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I was at Sports Authority the other day and they don't have anything like what you're looking for. They didn't have kettlebells over 10 pound either. I would suggest finding a local bodybuilder or muscle place. That's where you're going to find what your husband wants. It's going to be a place that carries stuff for building home gyms. If you're out in the sticks, you might be paying shipping, if not, you should be able to find something like that.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi Meg, As obvious as this sounds, have you tried Walmart? Their selection is usually spotty, but at this time of the year, I've noticed they've fully stocked their weights. Mine has Olympic bars, all sizes of plates, and your basic cast iron DB up to massive weights (50+ lbs). They also have the 3 lb db handles, and some for bars, that take the spin-on locks. Still staggers me that they can import big hunks of iron from China and make a profit, but that's volume sales for you...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Found some! My husband found a 170 lb set at a different Sports Authority than where I'd look, so it does go to show it helps to look around a bit. My next leg workout is going to be fun. > > I need to get a couple more DBs (or at least some additional handles) > > as well as a barbell (husband wants one that goes to 160 with the > > screw on ends, rather than spring lock).
